| Additional information |
Niue has issued commemorative gold under its own authority since the 1980s, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to access international bullion markets. The "Celebi" designation almost certainly references Evliya Çelebi, the 17th-century Ottoman traveler whose Seyahatnâme documented decades of journeys across three continents — though Niue's precise rationale for honoring him in 2002 is not well documented in standard numismatic literature.
KM#170 is a low-mintage issue; exact figures are elusive.
